LGR - The Sega Dreamcast

PSO was great and the only MMORPG I cared enough about to play through until completion. Apparently you can still play it online. F355 Challenge consumed me back in the day. The DC had some truly awesome games.

I'll never forget the first time I saw this thing in the store when I was a kid. I loved my Genesis and Sonic being one of my very first video games. When I got the Dreamcast, Sonic Adventure blew me away as cheesy as it was (and still is!). I think it honestly may be my favorite Sonic game just for the pure exploration and soundtrack alone. Then you've got Jet Grind Radio, which is one of my all-time favorite games. I beat it like 3x last year and it never got old once. Now that my Dreamcast has started to slow down a bit, I've resorted to emulation, and am working my way through Toy Commander and PSO. Such a great system and love the community that keep it alive.

You know, I replied before I actually answered your question about our Dreamcast-related memories, and for that, my fondest memory is pirating Sonic Adventure 2 (using Direct Connect, anyone remember that filesharing protocol?), burning it to a disc, and watching my then-young children utterly consume it for a few days. That game, as well as the original Sonic Adventure, instilled a life-long love of all things Sonic; just today one of my kids (now a young adult!) finished Sonic Frontiers.

I got one at launch, but never had more than a handful of games for it, and while some of them were fun that controller was poop from a butt. Four buttons and two triggers just wasn't enough.

I wasn't even aware of the Dreamcast (or the Saturn) until maybe 12 years ago. I wonder if they even were sold in Norway? I remember back in the nineties, and early 2000s, that we used to talk about "whatever happened to Sega?" and wonder why they never made another console after the MegaDrive. I was never that much into consoles, so I didn't buy console magazines or read much about them, but I never saw Saturn or Dreamcast in any stores back in the day.

Never had a Dreamcast, was always a Nintendo kid, but the whole history of it and Sega in general is fascinating in retrospect. Plus, seeing Rush 2049 and Vigilante 8: Second Offense in the stack there takes me back...

The library is a lot bigger if you include homebrew games and later published games.

LOL. I love the ending of "stuff to go here". I would almost publish it that exact way to the general public. It was awesome. :)

I actually have a couple friends, it's a father and son, who LOVE the Dreamcast! They have at least one and they've modded it to the hilt, which seems to be par for the course in the Dreamcast world. They stream on twitch, usually Commodore Amiga games on OG hardware, but occasionally they bust out the DC and stream from it. I can't wait till this vid goes for public release so I can link them. If you want to see them stream, search Pintz and Amiga on twitch. They're why I secretly want a DC, and would mod it for SD card lol

That sonic game looks really cool.

Man, I love the Dreamcast. I remember wanting one SO bad when it first came out, but I was too young at the time to get one myself. Now I own two. Take that, 10 year old me!

Loved the Dreamcast. I became a Sega guy when the Genesis landed in the US as it felt like the more 'grownup' console to my Nintendo & Super Nintendo. Bought the Saturn and eventually the Dreamcast but was crushed when they killed it off as it felt so ahead of its time with all of its cool options.

One of my university house mates had a Dreamcast in 2001, we mostly played Virtua Tennis (knocking over bowling pins) and Silent Scope but also had a bunch of emulators for Megadrive/Genesis and countless other older consoles. Loved it.
